Crazy John Vol 1 (Original English Translation) - CJB001

Makris's powerful narrative introduces us to a fool for Christ—a contemporary figure living in the heart of modern Athens. His neighborhood is a place of glass-faced apartment buildings and emotional isolation, a setting where doors are sealed against neighbors, and daily life is defined by apathy, vanity, and thoughtlessness. It is a striking portrayal of the self-centered passions that dominate our current age.

Yet, the story of Crazy John—as his neighbors call him—doesn't end here. Instead, it begins to unfold in a way that invites us to join him on the most beautiful journey of our lives.

Special Note: Theophany Works carries this book due to our love for the Saint described within it's pages. The book was a best seller in Greece and had a small run of an English translation. In the near future a second edition will be published through Theophany Works. Our aim is to spread the word about this beautiful soul. We find this book extremely edifying. Reading the lives of Saints (whether glorified or not) is of immense spiritual benefit. Here we see the product of a life that is transfigured. We see what the Gospel looks like within unique lives and shows us what is possible for us. "Crazy John" lived in modern times in Athens. He has not yet been glorified in an official manner, but we believe in the organic recognition among the faithful will show that this dear soul is worthy of such recognition. By purchasing this book, a portion of the proceeds go to rebuild the Holy Monastery of Saint George in Chalki, Corinth partnering with the original publisher. Thank you and may God bless you!
